you won't find the answer here. this is an income tax forum anyway, it's the 3 rating companies that compute your score based on various factors and only they know what changed to lower your score. but here are a few of the possible reasons:

did you finance or refinance a home or vehicle

have you been paid late or missed a payment

did you request a credit limit increase

your credit utilization factor has increased. it's is the amount you owe on your cards vs. your credit limit.

did you close a credit card account

did you loose your job

I’m Military so my pay hasn’t changed and I have no credit cards.
Have a car loan and school loan and both have been paid on time for 2 years plus on time

contact the reporting agency. they will be the only ones to know why. as i said this is a tax forum. we have no access to your tax return or credit reports.
